Cookie Fundrasing

Thank you to those families that supported our cookie fundraiser. The finals totals are not yet in, but we are confident that this was a successful fundraiser for our school. Stay tuned for the final count.

School Conferences

Thank you to those families who were able to join us, either in person or online, for conferences this week. We appreciate the opportunity to connect with you. If you did not get a chance to attend a meeting with your child’s teacher, email is always a great way to connect.

Students Riding Other Buses

We want to remind our students and families that if your child wants to ride on a friend’s bus, BOTH child’s parents must send in a hand-written note giving their permission for this to happen. We must receive both notes by lunch time. The office staff do not have time to be dealing with this via phone calls or emails. 

Scholastic Book Fair

Thank you for supporting our book fair this year. The numbers are not in yet, but we’re sure of school will benefit with some great new books.
